Another bump for s-squared. You should see their race car - started life as an Impreza L, now it's a serious race prepped machine. Great prices and service, plus the knowledge and professionalism of a rally team crew (in fact, the s2 guys are out of town this weekend - they're working crew at RIM).

I love s-squared - won't have my tuning and install work done by any other shop.

It's a throw up.

If you live in the bay area, Bill Knose with I-Speed or Shiv (Vishnu) are the guys to go to. If you can make the trek, S-Quared is a great place also.

REAL QUESTION IS: What kind of ECU are you running?

Excellent point, Gagan. I missed it in the member's original post. Since he's planning on running a turbo kit on what was a normally-aspirated engine, this will require additional sensors for boost control/tuning and possibly some sort of standalone like the LINK or TEC-2 or TEC-3.

All tuning shops cited by members in previous posts are capable of tuning standalone engine management using a wideband 0² sensor but you will have to contact them for specifics regarding which standalone systems.

I normally don't post anymore but I will this time. I would have to go with i-speed. For the fact that Bill has done wonders for me in the past and their customer service is unprecedented. I once had an issue with my WRXLink and they replaced it with no questions asked.

Don't get me wrong, I have gone to others but was very unsatisfied with service...
